Example text
To catch invalid colors (like “catdogColor”), but if nothing bad happens, then we forge ahead. We grab a reference to our ColorDetailController using color_detail_controller(), set its background color, and then dismiss ourselves with dismissViewControllerAnimated:completion:(). Not bad at all, right? Take our app for a spin, and everything should go smoothly, as in Figure 4, Changing the color from a text field, on page 40. Make sure to test our exception handling in ChangeColorController, as well some less-known UIColor helpers like magenta or cyan.
Report erratum • discuss CHAPTER 3 Organizing Apps with Controllers iOS apps usually consist of more than simple rectangles and buttons. We can easily build complex interfaces using the SDK; however, we need to first learn about controllers in order to create them. Views are only one leg of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) programming paradigm adopted by the iOS SDK. A “programming paradigm” sounds intimidating, but MVC is actually fairly simple. The basic idea is that your code should have three types of objects: models to represent data, views to display those models, and controllers to process user input.
For each of these, we’ll need to push a new view controller onto our UINavigationController’s stack. UIViewControllers happens to have a navigationController() property, which lets us access the parent UINavigationController. This navigationController() is automatically set whenever we add a view controller to a navigation stack, which we did with initWithRootViewController:. pushViewController(controller, animated: true) end We call pushViewController:animated: on the navigation controller, which pushes the passed controller onto the stack.
